Doc 10057 Manual on Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel Competency-based Training and Assessment First Edition, 2017 Approved by and published under the authority of the Secretary General INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION Manual on Air Traffic Safety Electronics Personnel App B-6 Competency-based Training and Assessment SUBJECT 4: METEOROLOGY TOPIC 1: METEOROLOGY SUB-TOPIC 1.1: Introduction to meteorology 1.1.1 State the relevance of meteorology in aviation. 1 Influence on the operation of aircraft, flying conditions, aerodrome conditions. 1.1.2 State the weather prediction and measurement 1 — systems available. SUB-TOPIC 1.2: Impact on aircraft and ATS operation 1.2.1 State the meteorological conditions and their 1 e.g. Atmospheric circulation, wind, visibility, impact on aircraft operations. temperature/humidity, clouds, precipitation. 1.2.2 State the meteorological conditions hazardous to 1 e.g. Turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, aircraft operations. microbursts, squall, macro bursts, wind shear, standing water on runways (aquaplaning). 1.2.3 Explain the impact of meteorological conditions 2 e.g. Effects on equipment performance (e.g. and hazards on ATS operations. temperature inversion, rain density), increased vertical and horizontal separation, low visibility procedures, anticipation of flights not adhering to tracks, diversions, missed approaches. 1.2.4 Explain the effects of weather on propagation. 2 e.g. Anaprop, rain noise, sunspots. SUB-TOPIC 1.3: Meteorological parameters and information 1.3.1 List the main meteorological parameters. 1 Wind, visibility, temperature, pressure, humidity. 1.3.2 List the most common weather messages and 1 e.g. ICAO Annex 3. broadcasts used in aviation. Meteorology messages: TAF, METAR, SNOWTAM Broadcasts: ATIS/flight meteorology broadcast (VOLMET). SUB-TOPIC 1.4: Meteorological systems 1.4.1 Explain the basic principles of the main 2 e.g. Weather display and information systems, meteorological systems in use. wind speed (anemometer), wind direction (weather vane), visibility (types of IRVR, forward scatter), temperature probes, pressure (aneroid barometers), humidity, cloud base (laser ceilometers).
